What is the recommended tire pressure for BMW?
1 Answers
BMW tires should be inflated to 2.5 bar. Introduction to tire pressure: Strictly speaking, tire pressure refers to the air pressure inside the tire. In automotive maintenance, the engine is considered the heart of the car - its failure would mean the end of the vehicle's life. Similarly, tire pressure is like the blood pressure of a car, as its level plays a crucial role in the vehicle's performance and power. Impact of tire pressure on vehicle performance: When a car moves at constant speed on level roads, it must overcome rolling resistance from the ground and air resistance. Tire pressure significantly affects the rolling resistance coefficient. When pressure decreases, the rolling resistance coefficient increases rapidly because under-inflated tires experience greater deformation during rolling, leading to increased hysteresis loss. Therefore, maintaining proper tire pressure ensures optimal vehicle performance.
